Differentiate between formative and summative measurement and give examples of how each might be used in your own expected teaching situation.
Formative measurement refers to the ongoing assessment of student learning throughout a unit or course. It is used to provide feedback to both the teacher and the students, allowing for adjustments to instruction and learning strategies. Examples of formative measurement in my teaching situation could include quizzes, class discussions, and observations of student participation and engagement.
On the other hand, summative measurement is used to evaluate student learning at the end of a unit or course. It is typically used to assign grades or determine if students have met specific learning objectives. Examples of summative measurement in my teaching situation could include final exams, projects, and presentations.
By using both formative and summative measurement, I can gather a comprehensive understanding of my students' progress and adjust my teaching accordingly.
